I'm happy you had great time... May I present some corrections as a citizen of Tallinn... The "kohuke" aka curd-cheese-cake thing that she tried was not estonian, but you passed as Saaremaa kohuke is. At 6:07 you fell for a tourist trap (prices) and the cute orange blanket wouldn't be so cute if you knew who else wore them and weather they get washed. I'm happy you had great time and as always, you are more than welcome to come back! (Please do, we need tourists)
Thank you for supplying such astute corrections. There's always a tintinnabulum of critiques on here, but to have feedback layered in so kindly is something we really appreciate 🥰 Hope you have a great day! Definitely will have to come back to Tallinn soon!
i am currently residence of estonia very good people warm and cool delicious food and beautiful country also don't forget to visit old town because it is very beautiful.
Visiting Tallinn next week & looking forward to trying traditional food & beer. Thank you for the insight. How did you get on with the language barrier? The old town looks fabulous.
Hi there!! You’ll love it!! Excited for you!! No issues whatsoever with a language barrier! Everyone there spoke English 🤗 Enjoy and DEFINITELY explore the old town. It’s breathtaking!
@@WyattandReyka Thank you. Really can’t wait. Looking forward to the Christmas market too. Will be trying some of the food you’ve highlighted. Where are you heading next on your travels? Are you from the US?
Daw man an Estonian Christmas market sounds awesome. Jealous. Yes, we’re from the US! We are fitting in a trip to Iceland before heading home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We’re in a van and the weather has been insane winds/rain but we are hoping it clears to see the northern lights tomorrow or the next day! Fingers crossed! 🤞🏼 Also - sometimes we lose notifications for messages in comments so the best way to reach us is email us@wyattandreyka.com or instagram DMs!

Buckwheat is actually from China and very popular also in other Eastern Asian countries. It is basically alternative to rice in colder mountainous regions of Asia. People began growing buckwheat in Estonia in the 18th century, not the 14th century. It was initially eaten mostly in Southern Estonia, but it became more popular in the North during the 20th century. I wouldn't call it a national dish though. Mulgipuder is traditional South Estonian dish. North Estonian potato smash is made without barley and bacon. Just plain 'IKEA'-type mashed potatoes 😃 Kohuke or curd snack is actually from Latvia, but it is pretty popular in Estonia too. Estonian blood sausages are very similar to Finnish blood sausages and both are related to British black pudding. It is a traditional Christmas dish in Estonia. Kama is similar to Finnish talkkuna. If you'll ever visit Estonia again I'd recommend you to try Estonian Kringle, Vastlakukkel (Semla buns), pea soup, rye bread (different kinds). Various open-faced sandwiches are also extremely popular in Estonia, like in other Northern European countries, especially as breakfast. If you're feeling more adventurous try sandwich cake which is popular in Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Iceland 🙂
It took me a while to understand you said vana Tallinn. I kept hearing Evana de Lin and was wondering who that is and then you said liquor and it clicked 😅😂😂😂😂
@@WyattandReyka don't worry about it. You tried and that's what matters. Wanna give good impression to estonians at least try speaking our language. :) Even if it takes hundred times we will be impressed because you're willing to try. And in later date we can all laugh about the basic mistakes and use it just to make conversation fun
I would not eat the blood sausage like that. Cut a piece and eat together with sauerkraut and cranberry sauce. Much better experience. To me blood sausage is something to have in small amounts, occasionally, usually as one part of a pork roast dinner at Christmas. Also the town hall square is lovely but can be crazy expensive. Thanks for your interest in the cuisine.
KOHUKE has nothing to do with cheese at all - it is a curd treat covered with various glazes, mainly chocolate. And it's not frozen 😬Nice video and great that you like Estonia and its food!
Was looking into visiting Estonia, but this made me depressed for the food. I feel like I wouldn't enjoy my meals or look forward to feasting there. I'm so sorry 😢
@@WyattandReyka 14,340 hosts in Tallinn ;) And also, places you went - well you payed about double the price. If you go just little bit out of old town, you can find really good prices and food is same :)
And one thing bothered me (but it´s just me). Since my roots are from Mulgimaa, then this Mulgi puder wasn´t done correctly. I had same feeling as italian has when you brake the spaghetti :D
Wow..... I guess my comment must have been pretty offensive to you. It has been removed. Please accept my apologies... no offense was meant in the least!
Oh man I’m sorry we truthfully thought it was meant to be offensive… tone and context are so hard to judge via comments. Our apologies 🙏 Are you from Estonia??
@@WyattandReyka I forgive you for misunderstanding me. I meant my post to this video in the same good spirit as the prior video of yours where I suggested a few possible sites to visit around Tallinn. Nay, I am not Estonian. My wife is. This world is not my home. I belong no where in it. I am a Christian, and my home is in Heaven. I am thankful to know the time Jesus is coming back to fetch me there: Seven days sooner than this time last week.
@@pianoman4Jesus haha classic RUclips misunderstanding. And cool! We love learning about people. We both come from religious backgrounds so we hear you loud and clear. Cheers 🥰
It is! After reading your comment I double checked. Here are multiple sources I’ve found on the internet confirming they’re related: “Despite its name, buckwheat is not closely related to wheat. It is not a cereal, nor is it even a member of the grass family. Buckwheat is related to sorrel, knotweed, and rhubarb, and is known as a pseudocereal because its seeds' culinary use is the same as cereals, owing to their high starch content” - wikipedia “Though it is commonly referred to as a grain, buckwheat is actually the seed of a broadleaf plant related to rhubarb. Despite the name, it is not related to wheat and is gluten free. It can be used in cooking like other grains but it has a superior nutritional profile.” - New Zealand herald “It is in fact, closely related to the rhubarb and sorrel genre of plant. This means that it is gluten free and can be utilised in cooking instead of gluten containing product, including as a flour and rice substitute.” - pure New Zealand buckwheat “Buckwheat is really a misnomer as this plant is not even in the wheat family! Buckwheat is not a true grain, but is the fruit of a leafy herbaceous plant that is related to rhubarb, sorrel, and dock” - University of Vermont public communications Sorry for the potential overkill hahaha. We just get corrected A LOT so it was fun to actually be right haha
@@WyattandReyka They may be related, but that does not mean they are similar. You can in no way substitute buckwheat for rhubarb or vice versa. Starting with that rhubarb is not a grain, you eat the stalk. Fiat manufactures both mopeds and trucks. Doesn't mean that a moped is similar to a truck.
@@AKKK1182 for sure yeah you’re right! That’s awesome you know so much about cooking I’m jealous haha. And yeah I was just responding to the original point that they were just two random plants when they’re actually related, if not similar. Where are you from?
Thank you for such a positive feedback to Estonia food!
It’s our pleasure! The food was delicious 🥰🤪
Finally someone tried our best traditional foods that we are proud of 🤩 very great video!

@@ShadowBlack090 So true! We still think fondly of Estonia! Can't wait to make it back there some day 🥰
Does not like Kohuke but eats sauerkraut and blood sausage like a champ? Are you sure you're American? Usually, it's the other way around..
Hahahaha maybe I’ve got some Estonian blood in me that’s steering my taste buds to this day

Thank you! Yes the blood sausage made me feel sick afterward hahaha. Maybe it’s because I ate too much. Cheers thanks for the message
Kohuke is a thing you grow in to kinda😛
Kohuke is soooo good hahaha (this is wyatt here). Reyka just doesn’t like cheese very much. I know right? She’s missing out lol
Heh! Like I sayd you grow in to it😄its curd cheese like a cake soo who hates that😛🇪🇪
Cool She liked the Mulgi porrige! Simple but good love it!!
Thanks so much! Yeah, we reeeeaalllly loved Estonian food. Like, phenomal. Really. Hope you're doing well 🥰
KOHUKE has nothing to do with cheese at all - it is a curd treat covered with various glazes, mainly chocolate. And it's not frozen 😬Nice video and great that you like Estonia and its food!
Doesn't it come from cottage cheese? Or Cheese curd? If not, our mistake! Thanks so much for watching, and we'd love to come back to Estonia 🥰
@@WyattandReyka curd made from milk, usually sweet
Ah okay makes more sense
🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟
So good 🤗🥰
I just book flights to Tallin

Was looking into visiting Estonia, but this made me depressed for the food. I feel like I wouldn't enjoy my meals or look forward to feasting there. I'm so sorry 😢
The food is great!! What about the food in our video makes you think you won't like it???

Buckwheat is not Estonian. Mostly Russian
Well now we got gotta go to Russia 😉

Haha it is the truth 🤪🥰
Mulgi puder
What is mulgi porridge?
No buckwheat is good for matrasses, not for food....maybe for cattle
It was delicious! And very nutritious! 🥰
WTF is this first food????
Honestly don’t remember… buckwheat, right?
